Federer survives shaky start to advance in Dubai

Roger Federer survived a slow start after losing the 1st set, but quickly regained that old form we are used to as he cruised in the 2nd and 3rd sets to a 5-7, 6-0, 6-2 win over wild card entry Malek Jaziri. Other seeds advancing were #7 Andreas Seppi of Italy over Frenchman Paul-Henry Matthieu and #8 Mikhail Youzhny a three set winner over Blaz Kavcic.
